"I loved the comic books and the animated TV series and I even dressed up as Spider-Man as a kid."

The movie's director, Mar Webb, also chimed in about he super-hero reboot, telling, "Ultimately, what this movie is about is a kid who grows up looking for his father and finds himself. And that's a Spider-Man story we haven't seen before."
